Reviews for Mount Tryon Care Home

"This review is specifically about the Management, staff and facilities at the Barchester's Mount Tryon Care Home in Torquay. Mum has now been resident at the Mount Tryon Care Home for nearly 4 months. Quite naturally, Mum was a very unsure about the big change in her life moving from independent living into "care". Change at any time in life can be difficult to handle - for a 91 year old such change is significant. However, it wasn't long before Mum settled in. The light rooms; open and free layout; the kind, welcoming and positive staff - management, nurses, support people, cleaners and handymen; the excellent food; the daily interactive activities; medical support; its security; and its positive ethos all make Mount Tryon a true home from home. Her happiness is core. We are happy and confident that Mum is being expertly cared for and that her future path will be safe and happy. Thank you Mount Tryon!"

My Mum recently moved into Mount Tryon and we are so pleased she did. The home is wonderful. Every member of staff is helpful and kind. The management have been so helpful and the activities are so well ran. What was a worrying and stressful decision was made so much easier with support and kindness. Thank you to all at Mount Tryon. Thoroughly recommend to anyone looking for care.

10 Members of the Torquay Armed Forces Veterans were invited by Mt Tryon to share with its residents a afternoon tea and quiz. On arrival we split ourselves up across the residents to share stories. The festivities began with nibbles and mulled wine, setting a warm and inviting atmosphere.

We were hosted extremely well by a great team and residents from Mount Tryon for an enjoyable afternoon tea, which included a lively quiz that sparked friendly competition and plenty of smiles from all teams, we were amazed at some of the residents and their general Knowledge.

Light refreshments were served throughout, ensuring everyone felt welcome and well cared for. A great afternoon and we look Fwd to seeing all again. "We Will Be Back". xx

"It has been almost 3 months since Mum went to Mount Tryon due to her Alzheimer's meaning she could no longer be at home. Mum was given a very friendly welcome the moment that she went through the door and that friendly caring attitude has continued with all the staff. A difficult situation and transition to a change in accommodation have been made much easier by the professionalism and caring attitude of everyone."

"My mum receives outstanding care at Mount Tryon Care Home. The carers are truly wonderful-attentive, compassionate, and always willing to go above and beyond to make sure she is comfortable and happy. The management team is excellent, and the home is run with real professionalism and warmth. There is a fantastic range of entertainment and activities organised every day, which keeps residents engaged and brings so much joy. The food is beautiful, thanks to the amazing chef and her team, and the entire home is kept wonderfully clean. I look forward to my visit to see mum each week, and I love to catch up with all the wonderful team at Mount Tryon. I have complete peace of mind knowing my mum is so well looked after. I highly recommend Mount Tryon Care Home."

"2 weeks respite care in Mount Tryon were a great help in speeding up my recovery following hospital in-patient treatment"

"My sister moved up to the first floor due to her increasing needs. She's been in her room for a decade (downstairs). The move was handled so well by the staff, who were kindness itself. The upstairs staff were so welcoming - especially Jane, who organised a pamper day to welcome her. She's very happy in her new room."

Well done to everyone at Mount Tryon."

"Mum moved into Mount Tryon as a short term basis/trial period due to early onset dementia and recently suffering a nasty fall. Within a week Mum decided to stay perminatly. She enjoys the activities, people to talk to and especially the food. Whilst living alone at home she was wasting away, she is putting on weight and able to get around now. The staff are all extremely friendly and helpful with any event that may arise. Update.. Mum has now been there for about 5 months and still happy as Larry! The carers have gone out of their way to help mum with serious podiatrist care, and making sure she is always looking clean, hair done and everything taken care of! She is piling the weight back on, thank goodness and loving the entertainment! Thanks so much Mt Tryon x"

"The home is very welcoming. The staff are very friendly. The arts and crafts are certainly 100% This helps very much with the social side. The care is good but not exceptional, in the fact of not knowing who to contact. On the whole I think my sister is happy."

"It was a great pleasure for me and my wife to visit my cousin in Barchester Mount Tryon Care Home. My cousin is receiving care which is, in my opinion, second to none. The staff are first class, nothing is a bother for them and it feel such a happy place. It is also spotlessly clean and the rooms and garden areas are superb. I'm not very good at remembering names but the chef is a very caring person and her and her staff supply wonderful varied food for everyone. To end, I'd just say it was a wonderful experience."
